That's the makes this so great. I can't wait for them to start in on the promises. I hope it's free flying cars that run on powdered aborted fetuses. It's Green!

The president has the power to declare a national emergency. No approval from an obstructionist congress needed. Also, again, since when did Democrats love the defense budget? They ought to be clicking their heels together in joy. If this stands think of how much money they'll be able to steal from the defense budget in the future, now that a precedent is being set.

Really? What unrealistic and revolutionary sweeping changes did the Republicans promise?

Yeah I don't know if I agree that's it's really a choice where your values align. I'd probably choose to be a Democrat like I was when I was young if that were true. Then I could sit around and circle jerk about how great I was with the rest of them.

Yeah Trump was pretty dumb to say the Mexico thing but let me take a quick poll Does anyone here actually give a shit who pays for the wall? I'll start it off: No. No I don't.

It's like they want to lose. All I know is that the primaries will be must see TV. All these super leftists vying to see who will go the furthest into fantasy land. If only crazy eyes Cortez would get into the fun I couldn't stand to miss a minute.

K. I await the vaunted Mueller report with baited breath. I feel like I can paraphrase it early for you guys. Spoiler alert! "Trump is a big mean ugly dick but...sorry I've got nothing"

A very typical deflection. But what if Obama did it? Wall - national defense project Giving poor people free smartphones - ...not defense.

I often find Democrat logic baffling and laughable and this is no exception. For my entire politically aware adult life, every time Democrats want to find money for some social welfare program they rant and rave and rail against the defense budget. But now, when there is a project they're against, that actually falls under "defense" suddenly the defense budget is unassailable and how can the EEEEVIL right want to cripple our noble troops? By the way it's a measly amount of money to the overall defense budget. Undoubtedly, the Pentagon wastes that much money semi-annually.

Ah yes, the old "he called me a name and so attempted murder is justified" Gambit. I have the unfortunate responsibility of having to go to all the public housing projects in Cleveland. I wonder how sympathetic the public would be if I attacked every black person who said some nasty racial shit to me with a box cutter? I'm guessing there wouldn't be a big push for people to say "yeah it was wrong BUT..."

You're really doubling down on internet memes vs the very real, mainstream, public hate Trump is subject to?

Absolutely and without question

Do you know what a cult of personality is? You can't have one if every paper, internet site, and celebrity takes shots at every aspect of your life on a daily basis. I think certain people are compelled to support him based solely off of the, if we're being honest, rather unfair treatment he receives.

But this is off track. I'd be happy to talk about it in another venue. For the right - they need to step off gay marriage, and especially contraception. They have no business trying to tell two consenting adults what to do in the bedroom no matter what their religious text says, and attempting to block contraception is just plain Retarded if abortion is abhorrent to you. Also the majority of climate change hoaxers appear to be from the right. Blocking anything that attempts to mitigate the damage is inconcievable. For the left - Identity politics are killing this country on a daily basis. Ramming things like transgenderism - which even the gay community still struggles to accept - down everyone's throat is baffling. Trying to view every last thing through the lens of race and personal Identity is...not working out as far as I can see.

You're a smart guy I'm pretty sure you get it. All this media means that people are getting plenty of attention for their misdeeds. Adam Lanza was able to go online and find people who fed his delusional fantasies. It was well known how he idolized mass shooters like Harris and Klebold. In another age it was quite likely he blew his own brains out and did the world a favor. Instead...one upsmanship. It's led to the rise of Facebook live murders, it's toxic online communities like incels that led directly to at least two mass murders from that group. It's the proliferation of the internet as an information sharing tool that's evolved the cartels from gunning their enemies down to skinning them alive on video, and isis making videos of burning people alive in cages. Did all this shit happen before? Absolutely. However it's naive to not correlate the meteoric rise in such things with the advent of the internet. There's also a lot of less drastic but also harmful movements that have grown out of the ability to gather and share information without being checked. Anti-science must be one you're familiar with. Anti-vaccine, flat Earth, climate change deniers, anti gmo, chemtrails, anti-medicine. One might even argue those are more dangerous to humanity as a whole than mass shooters and grimly inventive cartel killers.
